Referring more particularly to the drawings.' the same reference numeralsdsignate siiuilar'parts throughout` the several views and in this exemplitcation of' the invention,

the numeral 25 designates a suit-able supporting frame or base. in the topof which is loeated'a suitable chamber 26fhavingan inlet.' opening 27'` and an outlet or discharge I opening-'28.

A suitable casing comprising a front wall 29 and a rear wall 30,:is supported by the base 25 and preferably `over the ohalnber 26, and'located Within tlis casingis a chamber 31Whicli l'as communicationwith the-chamt ber 26 tlirougli a suitable aperture 32. The lower portion of.v one side of theoasing.. is preferably .reduced as at 33'to form an offset portion 34 and the sideadjac'ent the ofiset portion is preferably open andv is adapted to be closed by asuitablerclosure 35,'whieh may be inserted between-the front and rearfaees 29,30,.and is removably held in position in any suitable manner, such as by means of screw-s or bolts 36.

A suitable pump 37'having a supply pipe 38 is secured by the end 39 'to discharge into the chamber 26 through the inlet opening 27 and movable within the vpump is a piston 40, having a piston rod 41', which extends upwardly through the chamber 26 and a suitable packing or bushing 42, and said piston rod 4l 'projects beyond the packing or bushing 42.

Secured in any suitable manner to the free extremity of the piston rod 41 is a rack 43,

preferably in the shape of a bar and said l cess 44 within which the rear face of the rack v43 and the piston 41 is adapted to move` when reciprocatcd in a manner to beset' forth. A toothed segment 45 is pivotally mount-ed by one end as at 46 within the casing and is so disposed that the teeth 47 thereon will engage and mesh with the teeth of the rack 43 so that .when the segment is oscillated about its point of pivotal support in a manner to be set forth, -the piston 40 will be reciprocated through the medium of the rack .43.

The segment 45 may b e inserted" within the casing in any suitable manner and access may be had through a suitableopening 48 iu the rear face 30 of the casing and said opening may be closed by means of a suitable closure or hinged door 49. The front face 29 of the casing is also provided with an aperture 50, preferably in alinement with the aperture 48. A gear casing 51 is spaced from and removably secured to the face 29 of the segment casing by means of a boltvor screw 52, passing through the lower end thereof, and said bolt'or screw serves as a pivotal support-for the casing. The upper end of the casing is preferably held in position by means of a bolt or screw 52, which passes" through a projecting ear 52.b a islot 52c so that when the bolts 52 and52a are looscned the gear casin 51 may be moved about its pivotal point -o support 58 4and held in its adjusted position by tightening the bolts 52 and 52a for a purpose to be more fully set forth. This gear casing is so arranged as to cover the aperture 50 in the face 29.

A large gear wheel 53 is journaled to the rear face of the gear casing 51 by means of a suitable axle 54 and projecting laterally from the face of said gear is a crank pin 55, which is journaled in a bearing or box 56 and said bearing or box 56 is mounted for sliding movement in a slot 57 in the segment 45 so that when a rotary motion is trans mitted to the gear 53, in a manner to be set forth, the crank pin will cause the bearing 56 to slide inthe slot 57 to reciprocate the segment 45 about its point of pivotal support 46.

`suitable bearin One end of `a shaft 58 passes through a 58a in the segment casing and is journale in the front face of the gear casing 51; the other end preferably projects beyond the segment casingand 1s rotatably mounted in a suitable support or standard 59. A gear wheel 60 is secured for rotation with the shaft 58 and is located within the with and drive the gear wheel 53 when the shaft 58 is rotated' to impart motion to the segment 45.

Mounted for rotation upon the shaft 58 is a diii'erentia'l pulley 61 to which is secured one member 62 of a clutch and said member is provided with a recess or aperture 63 in the face thereof. A clutch member 64 is secured to the shaft 58 and said member is provided with a circumferential groovel 65 and a longitudinal aperture or recess 66, which extends across and communicates with the circumferential groove 65, as shown more clearly in Fig. 7 of the drawings. Slidingly mounted in the recess or aperture 66 is a locking pin or bolt 67, which is provided adjacent one end -with an open notch or recessed portion 68T one edge of which is slightly inclined or beveled as at 69, shown more clearly in Fi 10 of the drawing. This pin or bolt 67 is o such` a length that' it may be entirely seated within the aperture or recess 66, The clutch member 64 is also pro vided with an aperture or recess 70, pref.

erably of a smaller diameter than the'diameter ofthe aperture or recess 66 and said aperture or recess 70 is arranged parallel gear casing 51 is such a position as to mesh with the aperture or recess 66 and has communication therewith by means of a slot 71,

shown more clearly in Figs. 7, lO'and 11 of l i the drawings.'

Projecting laterally from the pin orV bolt 67,L preferably adjacent the end opposite to the notch or recess 68, is-a lug or pin 72 which projects through the connecting'slot 71 and into the aperture or recess 70, "the free end of saidpin or lug being-adapted to reciprocate in the recess or aperture 70 when the pin or bolt 67 is repiprocated in a manner to' be set forth. p

Disposed within the aperture or recess 70 'and between the bott-om thereof and the pin or lug 72 is a suitableyielding member 73, such as a coil spring or the like, and said member is ladapted to exert its tension upon the pin or lug 72 to normally project the free end of the pin or bolt 67 beyondvthev end of the clutch member 64 so that said projecting end will unter the recess 63 in the face of the clutch member 62 when the recess 63 is in a position to receive said end, to lock the clutch members together so that the rotation of the pulley 61 will be imparted to the shaft 58.

A member 74 is mounted for sliding movement inv a suitable support 75 and the nessi freebsdoii said mein-ber is cut away es et 7 5 to orm e semi'cireuler 'recessed portion for e'purpose to be set forth. A portion ofthe upper end of said memberr 74 is cut away or transversely .through the segment. casing and is pivotaly supported intermediate its ends, estat, 79.

The other extremity of the lateh or dog 100 is provided with shoulder or projection 102, and projecting laterally from the rear lface-.of the dial or indicator 82 and preferably adjacent the periphery thereof is a pin or lug 1.03 and said pin or lug is so related to the end of the dog or latch 100 as to engage said end and rock the dog or latch about its point of pivotal support 101 at a predetermined time when the dial or indicator 82 is rotated, as will be set forth.

Pivotally connected to the free end of the lever 78 is a bar or member 104. The end of this bar or member 104 is adapted for sliding movement. through a suitable guide or support 105 which latter 'is preferably-secured to the face of the gear casing 51. The extremity 10(3'is laterally deflect-ed and is adapted to stand in close proximity to the face of the gear easing 51. VVh'en the bar |04 is raised, the lever 78 will bcrocked to dran the member 74 -out Vof operative position so as to pern'iit the clutch members to be. locked together and said bar 104 is of such a. length that when the member 74 is out of operative position, the deflected extremity 100 thereof will be in a position to permit the shoulder or projection 102 .of the dog 1 00 to pass thereunder andhold the said bar raised until the dog 100 is rocked to disene'age the. shoulder 102I from the eX- tremity 106 by means of the projection or lug 103 on the dialor indicator 82 and when so' released the spring 81, through the medium of the connecting parts will return the rod or bar 104 and the member 74 to their normal positions.

Any suitable vmeans may be provided for raising the bar 104 so as to lock the pump into operating position but' a simple and e vlective means for accomplishing this purv pose comprises a lever 107, which may he pivotally supported, as at 108, to the gear easing 51. One extremityl 109 thereof, stands 'in close proximity to the deflected extremity '106 of the bar or rod 104 and when the lever 107 is depressed by mea-ns of a suity.able handle 110 the adjacent end 109 thereof will engage the deflected portion 106 and raise the rodtopermit the shoulder or pro'- jeetion 102 on the dog or latch 100to pass thereunder, the extremityA 109 off saidjever 197, being preferably deected, as .shown more clearly in Fig. 6, so as not to interfere with or engage the dog or latch i100 when raised. i'

It is thought that the operaticim of this@` portion of the machine will be clearly un-y derstood from the above description but briefly stated, it is as follows: The pump be-ffing connected up lo any suitable source of.,

manner -that the amount thereon desigrmting1'V the desired quantity will be directly lunder the pointer or finger 97. He then di-presses'A the lever 107 which will raise the bar '104,

rock the lever 78, and Withdraw the member 74 against the tension of the spring 81, there?,- by permitting the pin or bolt 67 to lock them clutch members together, motion being then imparted to the shaft 58, the segment- 45 will be oscillated about its point of pivotal 'A support through the medium of the connect-l ing gea rs and 53 and the crank pin 55 'and sliding box or bearing 56. The oscillation' .of the segment will move the pump pisln up and down, and will discharge' the liquid in'to the chamber 20, a portion of said liquid entering -t'ne chamber 31 through the aperture 32 'tol compress the air in said latter chamber so that the liquid will be 'forced out of the discharge opening 28 as the piston returns. On each complete rotation ofthe gear wheel 525, the. cam 98 thereon will engage'the projectii'lg piu or lug 93A on the member 01 and operate the pawl 95 tomove the indicator or dial 82 one step of rotation."
